Understanding the difference between federal power and state power is essential to knowing who controls what and where your voice can make the most impact.
For example, did you know Oregon’s tax code is tied directly to the federal tax code? That means when Congress passes changes like the most recent updates in the “Big Beautiful Bill”, Oregon is required by constitutional law to make those same changes.
